Ok, this problem started last weekend during the Fun weekend or w/e. The one where you could take ur pvp to aspenwood/quarry. The Lag is unimaginable and the error 7's come close to the amout of times ive lagged. I averaged a total of 10-15 times a day getting an err 7. And now that the weekend is over i am still getting these large lag spikes that like around 30 seconds then i continue to lag after that for another minute. What is going on ANET and plz fill us in here. FIX THE DAM LAGG ISSUE and the ERROR 7'S PLEASE. and if it is an issue on ur end..just fill us in like updating the website maybe. I mean its becoming a hassle just to play the game and its kinda annoying to try to start anything if im just gonna lag out.
And before anyone asks i do have a dsl connection not dial up or anything. And everytime i lag out i open up IE and my net works just fine.
Any comments or personal expierences will be helpful..
/end rant or w/e u wanna call this
Thank You
Lag Issues And Error 7's

It's not just you, the lag spikes are still occurring. One hit me yesterday and several folks on AC complained about it too.

It seems to happen quite often with updates and events. It's not just you hun, it's gotten more and more annoying. I rarely play at all because of them. Heh, try getting to the end of the Deep and having 3 err7s at the same time - then the party leader getting pissed at you in TS, only for him and the rest of the party to err7 just 3mins later as you try to explain its NOT your internet connection!
He was so sure of himself till he got his err7 >_> Oh well he went with us again on a later date, but ugg -_-
I've err7'd out of missions, quests, farming... It's just gotten to be too much for me so I'm not even going to really bother till they put in a reconnect feature.

I hate code=007's....I once got one when my party had the lich at 40% health...I had never completed the game before, so naturally is was really pissed off. If I had known what the ending was, however, I probably wouldn't of cared so much =P

i was doing bonus for THK yesterday - err7 when Dorian already spawned...

Can someone authorized give us a normal answer, why are these err7's occuring? I went for a spider run several times these days and got numerous errors coming from nowhere! And you know that after an hour or so playing in order to get to one single place it just doesn't fell right to get your spider up your... yeah... Do a maintenance or something, but PLEASE FIX THIS!
UnbiasedGamer
Meh, I can't even play the game. I haven't been able to since yesterday.

These error 7s are a pain. I dropped about 15k yesterday in UW 2-man farming because I kept lagging/error 7 until I finally gave up. Im getting very tired of it and of Arenanet's slow admittance that there is a problem and even slower fixing of the problem.
Bokocasso
All i want to hear is WHEN it's getting fixed.

It seems like the intesity of the err 007's really picked up in the past couple of days. It is so bad that I've even lagged out in town while setting up skills prior to starting a mission. I had about 5 disconnects in the span of half an hour, with most of the time in that half hour frozen in place.
I would also like to hear an official explanation from Anet as to why this is occurring and when it's going to get fixed.
I guess I'll go watch those movies I bought months ago that I haven't gotten around to.

I've never had problems with lag before (and i'm in Australia playing on US servers). The last two or three days however lag spikes have lasted up to 30 or more seconds. Also a few hours ago i had two err 7s in a row which I haven't had for over 6 months. There's definitely something going on.

My wife has been having the lagalot aswell , well actually only in the deep sometimes minutes long of jojoing around all over the place.
Not beeing able to chat or nothing while I am playing somewhere else and not have a single issue.
Now yesterday her and I did a deep run together and we both had it at the same time and with us 3 or 4 other in the group. It is just unreal , but let me restate the deep has been the only place we had this problem nowhere else. and even with 4 people playing(which never is a problem) we don't have any issues with lag reallly so my ISP and bad computers have been ruled out.
Now the one thing we noticed is when the exsessive messaging message pops up it's over no more lag and rarely it comes back then.(this even happens when we are not typing !)
I can also rule out euro server issues as the people having the lag were from china , australia and us then holland.

i was in a party doing fort aspenwood as kurzick, and the luxons got into the last room and my internet pretty much stops. since then i've been having huge lag spike issues, and i'm on a t1 connection so there's no WAY it's my internet. its good to know this isn't just a thing with my computer, hopefully Anet is addressing this.

Glad to know I'm not alone here, really sucks when you can't play for more than 30 minutes without an err=7. Although I may be wrong, it seems to me that I'm getting it more in Echovald more than anywhere else. I think I am starting to get the reputation of a frequent FA quitter! 
I'm just as excited as the next guy about Nightfall but I wont buy anything if I can't play it.

I was monking for a Riverside group yesterday to get the bonus, lagged out on beach right before reaching graveyard. Talked to a party member later, he said they got it. (Insert hour long obcenity-laced tirade here)
Sooty
wow its just getting worse and worse, 4 or 5 big spikes so far today. Maybe ANET are having some problems installing new clusters for nightfall?
Jumping Is Uselss
I just got a double err7 they were not even 15 min apart, but the weird thing is right before I got disconnected my character just froze but the music was still playing and I could still rotate the camera and activate the chat bar, but could not send any messages then after a minute or so I get err7.
Sooty
yep thats exactly what's happening to me.
Edit: 2 err 7s in the last ten minutes as well.
(I can't see any advisories regarding Southern Cross Cable links between Aus and the US or anything like that, also players from various countries have been saying similar things, so i assume it's on ANET's end).

No matter what Anet might say about checking our connection, I know its at Anet's end because, yesterday, I turned on Lagmeter and played. I had 0% client lag, 5% network lag, and 95% server-side lag. So, its definitely server-side not client-side. Fix it Anet!
AmberDawn
Seems most peeps I talked to were on the east coast. Massive lag spikes sometimes error 7's 6 in a row within a 15 minute span. It's not my internet connection I've tested it, my ISP has tested it, no problems and I'm on a T3.
I believe anet has some issues (serious ones) with their servers. And it's making the game practically impossible to play. As someone else said I was looking forward to Nightfall as well but I'm not buying anything I can't play.

I also am having a lot of err 7 problems, particulary at Fort Aspenwood. The err 7's appear to occur only during missions, and I wonder if in general it is while people are in instances that the err 7's are occurring; in other words, no err 7's in outposts or towns?
Last time this happened, ANet said it was an issue with their ISP. This time ANet has not said anything, which I think is a shame.
If you are working on this ANet, post a notice on the login screen. As one post above said, if this goes on long enough it will erode player confidence in the game.

Lag and error 7s were very rare for me except for when new content is being deployed. Since early Friday morning I have had a lot. There is nothing wrong with my network---I have tested.
Please Anet listen up. There is a problem. If you are working on something, please update your Network Updates page to reflect this. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of people being frustrated and perplexed with no response is not good for any business.

Im going to post the same rage message i posted on another fan site, maybe they will actually pay attention this time?, instead of blaming everyone else's connection issues. FACE IT ANET, ITS YOUR PROBLEM, NOT OURS, ALL I WANT IS TO KNOW THAT YOU ADMIT THAT IS AN ISSUE ON YOUR END, AND THAT YOUR DOING ALL YOU CAN TO FIX IT.
anyway heres my other post:
to be honest, after dealing with lag problems and constant error 7's for the last week, im starting to wonder why I even bought this f***ing game. there are SO MANY SERVER ISSUES WITH ANET THAT I CANT DO ANYTHING ANYMORE WITHOUT LAGGING OUT FOR 5 MINUTES. This is rediculous. they need to fix it, or refund my god damn money, im tired of them denying that the lag is their fault, when my internet is fine with every other program.

yep its happening again today. Lagging out for 60 seconds at a time or being disconnected completely. Sure won't be doing any Urgoz runs or ABs for a while.

lyra_song

Whats getting especially annoying right now is that I, as a monk, am lagging out of missions and getting harrased by my former teammates for "wasting their time". Its getting so widespread that I have had to stop doing missions and set my status to offline. FIX IT NOW ANET, or AT THE VERY LEAST -> ADMIT ITS YOUR FAULT! What is so bad about that??? I want to see a post from Gaile or Alex about this with A DEFINITIVE ANSWER

Yes, I think it is time for communication from ANet. I just err 7'd twice more in Aspenwood. Inquiry on chat revealed that others were also seeing err 7's.
We need to hear from ANet.

Just out of curiosity, do you guys have another computer on the same network also playing simultaneously when these lag spikes are happening?

I know alot of people getting lag followed by err7 here in Australia. Myself 3 times during AB this morning.

It has gotten so bad that when an Aspenwood mission starts, you can see people dropping out left and right from err 7s. I tried about a dozen aspenwood missions today. Of those I errored out 3 times and didn't have a single match where my entire team stayed intact.
Okay Anet, Yay! Yippee! Great you just had your precious championships for .2% of your paying customers. How about now addressing this bs connect problem for the other 99.8% of your now irate customers. I'll settle for just a word or two that you are working on the problem. Amazing you have the time to update the website with the championship results but you can't make a post about this horrendous server issue??? Here is a tip: This lag, err7 issue is far more important than your blasted championships. Get your priorities straight please.

Awesome happened again in the middle of an ab. COME ON ANET give us a heads up on this or something at least.

Been having some major issues with GW lag spikes and drop outs for about a week or so. They have always been few and far between before this, and continuing connection problems like this have never happened before for me. I have not changed providers, my ISP has yet to change their service, and my computer has not been changed in any way.
Furthermore, I have no problems connecting to websites or other games that require a stable net connection.
This whole problem is definetely having an effect on my gameplay. If this doesn't let up, I may end up giving GW a rest for a few months.

let me also add that uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't help. already tried it. and if i can play UT or HL2 online with the same connection and have 500kbps downloads, i think GW should be working fine, and i haven't ever had any problems before. this is entirely Anet...
Bokocasso
It's MORE than obvious that the problem is not in our monitors, so Anet would you be so kind to give us any answer, at least inform us that a maintenance is coming or whatever. o.O
I'm getting really annoyed now, logged on 4 times and got err 7s right after that. What the hell I am supposed to do so that I can actually play for more than 5 minutes with no drops?!?!

I was getting major lag last night in HA - several times - never err 007 - just jogging in place, skills pinging and chat not working. Once (only once) last night will I was playing my husband was also playing - but in the start island of Factions - he had no problems while I did.
And no, normally playing together and or my playing and he downloading music, etc is never a problem.
